More About Coach Jelena

I worked as an assistant coach at The Catholic University of America. I have coached and assisted at many top tier camps and clinics in the Washington, DC area. I have experience with developing volleyball player's and their abilities in a one on one scenario.

I was born and raised in Serbia (Europe) where I competed on a top-tier club team since I was a child. I played at many different high level international tournaments. When I moved to the US, I began by playing libero at Northeastern Junior College in Colorado first where I went on to receive an All-Tournament and All-Region selection. I then signed to George Mason University in Fairfax, VA where I competed for my final two years. I then transitioned into a coaching position at CUA where I completed my Master's degree and coached for two years.

Since I played at many different levels under many amazing coaches, I learned numerous strategies and techniques that I would implement into my client's game. I would first listen and understand what my client looks to improve and work on during our sessions. After our first practice I would have a better understanding of what kind of player my client is and I would then structure drills and methods on what we should work on improving the most. Depending on position and level of playing, there are many different drills that I would implement during lesson.

Each client will receive unique and individualized training based on their goals and necessities as a volleyball player.

Client Reviews

Jelena was great. Very polite, professional and very engaging with myself, as well as my athlete. She was able to technically break down my 13-year old daughter’s flaws and offer new techniques that will help her build consistency as she goes into the club season. The drills were good, and my daughter was definitely tired after she was done. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to take their child’s game to the next level.

Coach Jelena is a great coach. She provides consistent instruction and is patient. My daughter really enjoys going to her sessions with Coach Jelena and I have seen great improvement.

It was an excellent, well-structured session with many multiple skill drills.

My daughter had multiple sessions with Coach Jelena. She clearly has a lot of experience coaching and playing the sport. She was professional and extremely knowledgeable. The most important characteristic of Coach Jelena was her patients which made my daughter absolutely comfortable. I highly recommend Coach Jelena for one on one sessions for players looking to improve their volleyball game. My daughter is looking forward to more sessions now that she made the junior varsity squad at her high school.

My daughter was really happy with the hour she spent with Jelena. A few tweaks to her technique and she finally got her Serve. Thank you!

I had a great time. She was very patient and gave me good pointers since I'm new to volleyball.

Jelena has worked with my daughter for three sessions and provided great technical assistance with hitting, defense and passing. She is patient and very attentive to details. We will definitely recommend her to others interested in getting better.

Coach Jelena is fantastic. We have had just two sessions with her and I already see the improvements in my daughter in terms of hitting, setting, and defensive play. Coach Jelena is great with teaching technique, correcting small mistakes, and giving encouragement to my daughter. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to improve volleyball skills.

We met with Coach Jelena for volleyball lessons for my 12 (almost 13) year old club volleyball player. Coach Jelena is patient, observant, and knowledgeable. During the first lesson, she assessed her skill and provided tweaks that made immediate improvements in her hitting and serving skills. If you are on the fence about committing, I would definitely take the plunge. Jelena can take your player to the next level.

Excellent coach

Coach Jelena is AWESOME - so friendly, patient, engaging, etc. My daughter had a blast and learned so much. Already asking me when we'll see her next!
